 卡戴珊新闻'It's all b------!' Inside Kourtney and Scott's scripted编排好的 relationship troubles for KUWTK spin-off:Wow… the Kardashian-Jenner clan sure know how to drum up some drama制造话题. Looks like producers of new series Kourtney and Kim Take the Hamptons aren't happy with their cocktail-sipping storyline, so they've planted a few leggy 长腿的 brunettes along the way so that Scott Disick goes back to his bad boy ways. Over the past few weeks, TheFIX have heard rumours about the Kardashian clan... with sources saying that 35-year-old Kourtney kicked Scott out of their Hamptons holiday home over his hard-partying ways过度狂欢. And when we say hard-partying, we mean spraying bottles of Belvedere all over scantily-clad几乎不穿什么衣服的 babes till 3am in sexy Southampton, leaving pregnant Kourt's calls unanswered. But According to NY Daily News, this is all created chaos制造的话题 for the show's new storyline! And the bombshell beauty snapped alongside Lord Disick was in fact Kourtney's model bestie Allie Rizzo… who's also dating club co-owner Scott Sartiano. Look... Kourtney's bestie Allie was even at Kim's Italian wedding! An eyewitness added: "Although Scott had a banquette of long-legged women around him, he was being filmed by a crew from start to finish. They brought out his name in big balloons故意夸大 and he was partying with his male friends and having a damn good time." A damn good staged设计好的 time? No wonder sources close to the Kardashian fam are slamming the faux-fight, with one friend telling the site: "Scott's excited to have another baby. Kourtney and him couldn't be any better! This is all b-------." The reality TV family might be the reason we all have trust issues.

 男性新式内衣(novelty underwear): New barely-there几乎没有的, 几乎什么都没有的 C-string underwear craze takes off as daring sunbathers flash the flesh. 1. This is nuts! The bag thong is the newest underwear trend for men: Viewers of a nervous disposition ( disposition [ˌdɪspəˈzɪʃ(ə)n] I. [singular] 天性, 本性, 脾性, 作风. the way that someone normally thinks and behaves, that shows what type of person they are. He is not known for having a warm and friendly disposition. of a nervous disposition天性紧张: This film is not suitable for viewers of a nervous disposition. A disposition is a habit, a preparation, a state of readiness, or a tendency to act in a specified way.

[countable/uncountable] 阵型. the order or arrangement of something. the size and disposition of the security force. IV. [countable/uncountable] legal the process of giving property or money to someone. ) look away now. This is definitely NSFW. Do not look down别往下看 if you don't like rude man parts. Right, that's all the disclaimers out of the way, now we can show you the hottest thing in underwear for men right now. We bring you the 'sexy bag thong'. Pray, a moment's silence while you gaze upon it. Okay, it may have been around for a while and it might not be a trend – yet – but, inspired by the TOWIE willy-sling and the C-String, we came across this gem while doing 'research' on eBay. It's just a little drawstring bag for your boy bits. Now, while we're on the subject, when did novelty underwear新奇内衣 cross over into mainstream进入主流? We like to think we're on top of this stuff but it's rather caught us on the hop. We blame TOWIE. If this is the future, we're not sure we're ready. 2. TOWIE's Bobby Norris in THAT swimming sock makes guest appearance on This Morning: A fairly pedestrian men's swimwear surgery on ITV's This Morning got a whole lot more racy today with the arrival of a very special guest – yep, TOWIE's Bobby Norris popped up in his infamous c-shaped swimming sock. In what was billed as a 'Friday treat' (for who?), Bobby modelled his signature swimwear look, while TV couple Eammon Holmes and Ruth Langsford made slightly awkward conversation around him. The audience meanwhile was afforded a closer look at the swimming sock everyone's been talking about. We had previously described the latest must-have in men's swimwear as a waterproof willy hammock, but on closer examination进一步查看, 细看之下 (we take these things very seriously), we now think it's actually more of a willy sling. Bobby looked fairly uncomfortable throughout the segment and held onto the thong for dear life, for fear he would expose himself on morning TV. However, he reassured Ruth that it did stay up on its own, despite the odd 'sock-slip' during filming for the TOWIE summer special in Marbs. Grim. He cheekily厚颜无耻的, 大言不惭的, 不害臊的, 不脸红的, 厚脸皮的 added that Ruth would be 'in for a treat' if he let go (is it just us or does This Morning get more 'Carry On' by the day?). Eammon was keen to get to grips with the latest trend. Eammon then asked Bobby for a quick 360 and when he demurred(demur [dɪˈmɜ:(r)] 异议, 反对. 害羞拒绝. to refuse to do something. a. to say that you do not approve of something. n. refusal or disagreement. without demur 毫不犹豫: Both teams accepted the decision without demur. demure [dɪˈmjuə(r)] I. Quiet, modest, reserved, sober, or serious. She is a demure young lady. II. Affectedly modest, decorous, or serious; making a show of gravity. a demure woman is quiet and shy and always behaves well. a. used about a woman's behaviour or the clothes that she wears. a demure smile. a demure little dress.), decided to go round the back走到背面, 走到后面, 走到他背面 and take a look for himself. The daytime audience was happily spared a rear-view shot. You can all sleep a little easier in your beds tonight though, as Eammon concluded he wouldn't be investing in one for the pool-side this summer. 3. Introducing the new mankini for men braver than Borat: The String Lateral Flash Thong is a European fashion item we are glad Tony Abbott didn't pick up as a souvenir during his recent overseas tour. While our Prime Minister and his NSW counterpart Mike Baird are quite the budgie smuggler enthusiasts, even the statement bathing suit showcased by The Only Way is Essex stars Harry Derbidge and Bobby Norris, pictured below last week in Marbella, Spain, may be a little too much style over substance for the surf at Manly. Produced by French swimwear label Alter, the barely-there swimsuit is for men (here's looking at you, "spornosexuals") who are concerned with the unsightly tan lines other swimmers like Speedos, boy leg shorts or knee-length boardies cause. According to one stockist(a shop or business that sells a particular type of goods), the selling point of the togs, which are available in four colours of black, white, red or blue, is the fabric. " [It] allows virtually unlimited flexibility and resistance and incorruptibility (incorruptible [ˌinkəˈrʌptəb(ə)l] I. 腐化不掉的, 刀枪不入的. not capable of being persuaded to do anything illegal or immoral. II. a thing that is incorruptible will not decay or cannot be destroyed. ) that assures you the ultimate grip at all times." The togs(I. togs [plural] informal old-fashioned clothes, especially the clothes that you wear for a particular activity. II. [countable] British a unit for measuring the warmth of a duvet for a bed. a 12-tog duvet.), which make Borat's mankini and even dental floss look like practical beach attire, are made from spandex and polymide, a fabric used to manufacture outdoor and workout wear. A pair will set you back $31.74.
